There
are lots more lessons about Jesus on the Year 2 curriculum, which focuses
mostly NT lessons for toddlers and preschool children. Year 1 focuses mostly
OT lessons for toddlers and preschool children. Year 2 lessons will be available
early Spring of 2007.

This very first Sunday
School lesson starts the fun with this interactive lesson. In the simplest
language, we take the children through the last supper, Jesus washing
his disciples' feet, and Judas turning against Jesus. A printable lamb
puppet asks questions that the children might be thinking, such as "Why
did Jesus wash his disciples' feet? The teacher then explains how Jesus
was a humble and patient teacher and taught his disciples by showing them
how he wanted them to treat each other. Directions for how to set up your
room to teach this lesson using "stations" to add some fun is
included with the lesson. We give you ideas for props if you just want
to teach the children around the table, such as using a drawstring bag
for the 30 pieces of silver.

To drive the lesson
concepts home, during Circle Talk Time the teacher leads a talk about
how we can show others love like Jesus showed love. There is also a Pretend
Play activity , a song with actions for the children to participate in
and a group activity to go with this lesson. There are color illustrated
story pictures, which you can also use as bulletin board pictures, a printable
stick lamb puppet to print and make, crafts, activities, and pictures
to color to go with this lesson.

Concepts Children
Learn: Jesus was humble, and wasn't afraid to do the dirty jobs, and the
jobs that weren't fun. Jesus show us an example of how to love and help
one another. Some other ways to love each other are sharing, saying kind
things, and listening.

that he doesn't know Jesus three times, and about the prayer that Jesus
prayed for all those who would become believers! (including us). Marshmallow
